Pop Quiz, hot shots

How can the administration argue Gitmo is a terrorist recruiting tool while they accidentally DRONE 50 innocent civilians to death?

IN ISIS CONTROLLED SYRIA

McClatchy Newspaper Chain:
U.S. airstrike in Syria may have killed 50 civilians
 — A U.S.-led coalition airstrike killed at least 50 Syrian civilians late last month when it targeted a headquarters of Islamic State extremists in northern Syria, according to an eyewitness and a Syrian opposition human rights organization.
The civilians were being held in a makeshift jail in the town of Al Bab, close to the Turkish border, when the aircraft struck on the evening of Dec. 28, the witnesses said. The building, called the Al Saraya, a government center, was leveled in the airstrike. It was days before civil defense workers could dig out the victims’ bodies.
The U.S. Central Command, which had not previously announced the airstrike, confirmed the attack Saturday in response to repeated McClatchy inquiries. “Coalition aircraft did strike and destroy an ISIL headquarters building in Al Bab on Dec. 28,” Col. Patrick S. Ryder said in an email.
Now I am not going to argue we should kill ISIS, in fact I am in favor of killing more, more often.
I am merely pointing out the stupidity  of the stubbornness in this administration which cannot find any consistency in BOTH its ideology AND the application of the ideology.

The people in Gitmo are POW’s without an army to be POW’s from and should be considered released after 10 years of NO INCIDENTS, or we should stop recruiting terrorists by killing innocents (good luck with that)

The facts are that we recruit terrorists by EXISTING.

This is the USA.

The people, not God, are ultimately the sovereign here.

And THAT is your terrorist recruiting tool.

To quote John Kerry, that's one hell of a pinpoint operation!

Wrong. This administration is walking a very delicate line between its ideology, and the culture and values of the American people. One thing is their belief, and the other the limit of what they can do without exposing themselves completely.
